No more taking myself for granted

Written on 20240715

A feeling of overwhelm comes up. My family is coming over, I haven’t seen my sister’s family for 2 years and I want to enjoy the most time with them as big as possible.

In the past, whenever family would gather I would forget about me, my goals, my eating habits and put all my energy on giving to my family. I felt pressure from myself. High expectations to be the best.

After they’d leave I’d go back to my routine, my belly feeling stuffed from eating too much, meal time is social time. Not having spent time on myself to be alone, I’m an ambivert - both intro and extrovert - therefore in desperate need of Me time. And not having done much toward my goals.

This is an old pattern I hold, and the nervous sensation that comes with it is still present in my body.

Here I am starting to feel overwhelmed again. There’s a need coming up too. I want to make sure that I put myself first.

1-me, self care, health, wellbeing, moving my body

2-coaching business growth

3-full time job, take 39h per week

4-family time

5-time with the man I’m seeing.

I want all that to happen simultaneously, I want to be able to give energy to all of this, and feel great while doing it.

NO PRESSURE haha
